That furry tail sticking up is a feeling that non trappers cannot understand. I can see my first furry tail around 1978 like it was yesterday.

Same here, 1966, 1 1/2 coilspring, blind set.

1969 , , , in a #110 Conibear in a 'rat run into a bank in open water

Yep, 1962 1 1/2 long spring baited pocket set

Depends how hard you are willing to work, as much as a high population.

At an average of $50 a mink, I think we will all see what a respectable catch will be. I hope to hit 30. most years its 4-8. First mink was in a bank set in NJ, Denville area. It was a female. I think it was 1985.
